Chapter 170 Swallow

The azure flames, like an ocean, covered half the sky. The terrifying temperature scorched the void, causing the space to be visually distorted. The enormous dark red dragon on it was even more eye-catching, as if it had been reborn from the ashes. It was extremely majestic, and its aura was several times stronger than before. It was as if the previously loose energy had condensed in an instant.

At this moment, Yao Lao and Cai Lin, who were watching from a distance, also showed surprise. Yao Lao, in particular, exclaimed in disbelief, "How is this possible?!"

There is no so-called evolutionary chain between different flames.

The Fallen Heart Flame, bathed in the Sea Heart Flame, can evolve... If this news were to reach the Central State Pill Tower, it would probably draw countless laughs. But this is exactly what happened. The fire python's body not only transformed into a fire dragon, but its strength also increased significantly.

"Do strange flames also evolve?" Cai Lin asked Yao Lao, her cold and beautiful eyes showing a hint of solemnity.

The Fallen Heart Flame has already escaped, so where did Yao Yan, who infiltrated, go?

Perhaps something happened.

The old man shook his head and said decisively, "I don't know about other strange flames, but the Fallen Heart Flame and the Sea Heart Flame are well-documented in ancient books, and there are even records of their owners fighting each other. There is no connection between the two at all, and the Sea Heart Flame is even less likely to promote the transformation and evolution of the Fallen Heart Flame... unless someone controls it!"

Thinking of this, his eyes flickered slightly, and he inexplicably thought of that kid Yao Yan. Could it be that the other party did the dirty work?

If the Fallen Heart Flame is used as a disguise, it can indeed deceive everyone. However, he had never seen Yao Yan use this method of manipulating strange fire.

"So you mean the Fallen Heart Flame is controlled by Yao Yan?!"

A strange light flashed in Cai Lin's eyes, her red lips moved slightly, and her voice became a little more hurried.

The old doctor didn't answer, but frowned and stared. At this moment, he couldn't say for sure. With the isolation of the strange fire, it was very difficult for soul power to penetrate it, especially a strange fire like the Fallen Heart Flame that was specifically designed to target the soul.

……

Actually, the old doctor's guess was correct.

All of this was indeed Yao Yan's masterpiece. With his spiritual realm-level soul power, the assistance of Venerable Tianhuo, and the Five-Wheel Fire Separation Technique he created, he could easily control everything about the Fallen Heart Flame, including the fire python it condensed. After being transformed by the Five-Wheel Fire Separation Technique, the originally enormous energy naturally became more solid, and the aura it emitted became even more powerful.

The purpose of combat techniques is to amplify the combat energy within the body, allowing the same combat energy to exert a stronger destructive force. The Five-Wheel Fire Technique and the Spirit of Strange Fire are undoubtedly a perfect match, as they can further amplify the power of the Spirit of Strange Fire.

"Haha, you really are a monster! You've only mastered it for the first time, yet you've managed to transform the Fallen Heart Flame into this form. Even I, back in my day, have never seen such a talent for controlling flames!" Venerable Heavenly Fire took in everything and couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh, expressing his admiration.

For someone like him, death was never a terrifying thing; the greatest pain was that no one would inherit his legacy.

Seeing Yao Yan perform the Five-Round Fire Technique was undoubtedly a great psychological comfort to him.

Moreover, Yao Yan's talent is so extraordinary that the sense of accomplishment is excellent.

"Your teachings are still the best."

Yao Yan smiled and responded. He knew his own family members best. His talent was obviously not this abnormal before. His achievements today were entirely due to Hun Xuzi's modification and the fact that the Burning Technique had devoured the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. Now, his control over flames had reached the limit of his current level.

"impossible?!"

Unlike Yao Yan and Venerable Tianhuo, who were still in the mood for casual conversation, Han Feng was already losing his composure. His originally handsome face became extremely ferocious as he stared intently at the Fallen Heart Flame that had transformed into a dragon. He didn't believe that his Sea Heart Flame could help it evolve and transform; something must have happened that he didn't know about.

However, Yao Yan clearly wouldn't give Han Feng a chance to think. Controlling the fire dragon's swirling tail, its massive body stirred up the surrounding sea flames as it lunged at Han Feng.

The sharp claws wreathed in invisible flames reached out and grabbed at him, tearing apart the sea flames in their wake, unable to stop its advance at all.

Without the support of the Sea Heart Flame, Han Feng's combat power was naturally greatly reduced, so how could he possibly deal with the enhanced version of the Fallen Heart Flame?

"Sect Leader Mo, save me!"

Han Feng dared not be careless and directly asked Mo Tianxing, who was watching the show from the side, for help. At the same time, he formed a hand seal with both hands and released an energy hand seal to slow down the sharp claws. He then shot towards Mo Tianxing, clearly intending to shift the blame and force Mo Tianxing to take the lead.

Faced with the greatly enhanced strength of the Fallen Heart Flame, only Mo Tianxing, who is at the Dou Zong level, has any chance of winning.

A hint of hesitation flashed in Mo Tianxing's eyes, until he heard Han Feng's promise: "I will double what I promised Sect Master Mo, and I will also owe Sect Master Mo an extra favor. In the future, as long as I, Han Feng, can do it, I will never refuse!"

"Your Majesty, remember what I said today!"

Mo Tianxing responded in a deep voice, and with a flash, he was about to go to help, but unexpectedly, a sharp attack came from his side. Su Qian appeared beside him at some point, with a hearty laugh: "I've been watching you the whole time!"

He was going to make Mo Tianxing experience the same suffering he had gone through before. Did they really think he was blind?!

No matter what, the Fallen Heart Flame belongs to Canaan Academy. Does it even need to think about who it should help?

"boom!"

The two instantly clashed. Compared to their previous skirmishes, their attacks were now significantly more ferocious. Mo Tianxing could no longer afford to slack off. At the very least, he had to protect Han Feng's life today, otherwise, he would be unable to fulfill the promises made by Han Feng. Moreover, he had thoroughly offended Canaan Academy today, which would be a huge loss.

At the same time, Fan Lao and others also realized this and prepared to rescue them, but they were all stopped by the people from Canaan Academy.

This scene also angered Han Feng, but he was helpless. He was not even as fast as the Fallen Heart Flame. In just a dozen breaths, the other party had caught up with him. The huge tail suddenly swung at him. The terrifying power combined with the high temperature of the Fallen Heart Flame made Han Feng feel hot even with the protection of the Sea Heart Flame. He even felt a little angry. The aftereffects of the incomplete Burning Technique were about to erupt at this moment.

"Humph!"

Han Feng crossed his arms in front of him, let out a muffled groan, and was sent flying. However, he used this opportunity to create some distance between himself and the Fallen Heart Flame. At the same time, a resolute look appeared in his eyes. As his fighting spirit surged wildly, endless Sea Heart Flame burst forth from his body, once again transforming into waves that surged toward the fire dragon formed by the Fallen Heart Flame.

At this moment, the power he unleashed was so great that even Su Qian and Mo Tianxing, who were fighting in the distance, took notice. They clearly did not expect Han Feng, who was forced into a desperate situation, to have such a move.

"Roar!"

The fire dragon formed from the Fallen Heart Flame bombarded the sea flames frantically, its massive body twisting and turning in an attempt to force them back, but it was no match for the endless waves of sea flames. Wave after wave quickly engulfed the entire fire dragon formed from the Fallen Heart Flame.

“He used a secret technique, and his strength has increased by at least five or six stars!” Venerable Tianhuo had extremely sharp eyes and instantly saw through Han Feng’s strength. He also gave a solution: “Delay it for a while. He can’t maintain this state for long.”

“I don’t have time to play with him slowly,” Yao Yan shook her head slightly and said softly.

Without using battle aura, soul power is the most subtle method of attack. Apart from Han Feng, a sixth-grade alchemist, Yao Yan did not believe that anyone else could detect his soul power during the clash of the two different flames. Immediately, a fierce soul power surged from between his brows, transforming into several sharp thorns...

"Roar!"

At the same time, the fire dragon covered by the Sea Heart Flame also went berserk. It opened its mouth and spat out a solid, invisible flame that tore through the oncoming Sea Heart Flame and surged toward Han Feng.

Han Feng's forehead veins bulged, and his face was slightly flushed. The Sea of ​​Flames he controlled surged up again in an instant, forcefully resisting the invisible flames spewed out by the fire dragon.

The sky was now dominated by two distinct flames, a clear divide between them. The azure flames and the invisible flames clashed, radiating terrifying heat. At the point where they came into contact, space itself seemed to distort and fold slightly, as if it could not withstand the scorching heat of these two strange flames.

Countless sparks burst forth, as if a fiery rain was falling from the sky, beautiful yet dangerous.

If anyone were to come into contact with these sparks at this moment, they would probably be instantly turned into a human torch, which shows the level of energy generated during the clash between the two.

Han Feng was undoubtedly using all his strength at this moment, almost disregarding whether his body would suffer any hidden injuries. If he couldn't deal with the Fallen Heart Flame, Yao Yan would obviously not let him off the hook. At this moment, he could only choose to tough it out and see who could last the longest.

But just then, one of the sparks that had been ejected suddenly drifted close to him, and a dangerous aura swept over him, making his whole body go cold, his pupils shrink, and his soul constantly warn him. Unfortunately, it was too late.

Three invisible needles suddenly shot out from the air, covering a distance of several meters in an instant, and directly pierced Han Feng's brow. His proud soul power could not withstand it at all and was directly dispersed. At the same time, this soul power also caused his consciousness to go blank for a moment.

"boom!"

As the Sea Heart Flame went out of control, the invisible flames instantly tore through the sea of ​​fire, and at the same time, the enormous fire dragon rushed out, like a tyrant of the sea, opening its blood-red maw and swallowing the bewildered Han Feng whole.

"?!"

This scene stunned Mo Tianxing, Su Qian, and the others. No one expected that Han Feng, who had been so fierce just a moment ago, would suddenly be swallowed up.

It's like a man and a woman getting closer and closer, and suddenly the man says he's done...

That's the feeling everyone has when watching the show.

For some reason, I feel like this is all there is to Han Feng, the Medicine King who is famous throughout the entire Black Corner Region?!

"Roar!"

The fire dragon that swallowed Han Feng let out a triumphant roar, then invisible flames swirled around its mouth. Its gaze fixed on Su Qian and the others, seemingly considering whether to attack them. However, it quickly twisted its body and shot off into the distance, seemingly unwilling to stay in the Canaan Academy area any longer, heading towards the location of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"……Chase!"

Seeing this, Su Qian hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and shouted. He didn't care about Han Feng's life or death, but the inner court of Canaan Academy could not lose the Fallen Heart Flame. If it were not there, Canaan Academy would lose its original advantage and might even gradually weaken.

As for whether Mo Tianxing and the others would continue to attack Canaan Academy, he was not worried at all, because without Fallen Heart Flame and Han Feng, they had no reason to continue to be enemies with Canaan Academy.

Su Qian saw through these opportunists in the Black Corner Region very clearly.

Just as he had expected, when Mo Tianxing and the others saw Han Feng being swallowed by the Fallen Heart Flame, their hearts sank instantly. They never imagined that Han Feng was so short, and that he couldn't hold on for more than a few minutes... Brother, if you can't do it, just say so. We won't just stand by and watch you die.

Are we really going to just tough it out?!

For a moment, Mo Tianxing and the others couldn't figure out what Han Feng was up to. However, given the current situation, it was clear that they couldn't continue fighting with the elders of the Canaan Academy's inner court. Although Su Qian had left, Hu Qian and the others had stayed behind, so there was no point in continuing the fight.

"What should we do?!" Fan Lao, Su Mei, and the others looked at Mo Tianxing and asked.

"Follow them and see if Han Feng is alive or dead. He hasn't given us what he promised!" Mo Tianxing said through gritted teeth. He never expected that his trip to Canaan Academy with Han Feng would end in such a ridiculous way. The Fallen Heart Flame, who should have been a 'friend,' had become an enemy, and Han Feng, whom he thought would be very capable, had turned out to be such a failure.

The thought of Han Feng being killed by the Fallen Heart Flame sent chills down his spine. After all, he had gained nothing and offended Canaan Academy. Wasn't this a double loss?

Don't forget, Maple City also has Han Feng's senior uncle, who is a seventh or even eighth-grade alchemist.

If something were to happen to Han Feng, they wouldn't know how to explain it to him... However, they might be able to take this opportunity to seek refuge with him. If Han Feng's senior uncle really had designs on the Fallen Heart Flame, there was a chance. Once they got on his side, what would offending Canaan Academy matter?

He initially agreed to Han Feng's request with this in mind. Of course, it would be best to obtain the Breakthrough Pill, since relying on others is not as good as strengthening one's own strength.

But now, Han Feng has been devoured by the Fallen Heart Flame, and he has no choice but to prepare for the worst.

He didn't linger there for long. Spatial ripples appeared beneath his feet as he used spatial power to speed towards Su Qian's location. No matter what, he needed to know the final outcome. As for the Fallen Heart Flame... he had never had any interest in that thing from the beginning.

Strange flames are extremely attractive to alchemists, but for ordinary cultivators, they are like a chicken rib, with risks far outweighing rewards.
